What the email is about

MetaResearch reads new health studies and explains them in plain words. We cover blood sugar and weight, aging and longevity, and new kinds of medicine. For each study, we say what it measured. We say how much the proof can be trusted. And we say what is still not known.

How we write it

• Every fact links to a paper, a trial's public record, or an official drug label.
• Numbers are given just as the scientists reported them. That includes the numbers that make the main result look weaker.
• Each finding says what kind of proof is behind it. It might be a trial where people were placed in groups by chance, like a coin flip. It might be a study of old health records or a review of many studies. It might be an animal study. Or it might be news that has not been published yet.
• Some findings have not yet been checked by other scientists before being published. This check is called peer review. Those findings are labeled that way everywhere they appear.
• Sometimes two trusted studies disagree. Then we report both, and we do not say either one has settled the question.
• MetaResearch never gives medical advice. It never tells anyone to take anything. It never describes how a person would use any substance.
• Ads and partner offers are labeled. They play no part in choosing or writing an article.
